It would be great to have a widget type within Smartsheet dashboards that provides a library of selectable icons / imagery to enhance the look and feel of dashboards!

Yes! And add to the library with our own images and icons, as well.
Having a library of icons would help with the branding of programs within the enterprise.
So I have a template that I modify for projects, but I still find myself occasionally going back to the template and all the dashboards to update when I find something else that would be useful for users. This means re-uploading the image on each dashboard.
I agree that it would be nice to be able to link to a library icon. I thought that would be a great use for the library and was disappointed when I couldn't use the link on my dashboards. It would be great to be able to at least upload our themed visual cues for users (UI elements), that we have in our branded colors, and be able to easily reference them instead of uploading them from our drive each time we want to use them.
It seems a little clunky to copy-paste from one dashboard to the next when making refreshes of the UI, and I am only managing for one organization - I can't imagine the pain for PMO's doing this across branding.
That would be a cool feature! In the meantime, 2 ideas- 1 you could use Smartsheets public brandfolder for icons here https://brandfolder.com/smartsheet-brand-marketing/smartsheet-icons. To standardize navigational icons as an option.
Second- if you have a metric sheet and embed an image into a cell, you can point a (stacked) metric widget at that metric sheet and it will pull through that icon. You could then have many dashboards point at this metric sheet for your widgets. This allows you to change one sheet and have it populate on all the related dashboards. Hopefully that's helpful in the meantime!
I wish the https://brandfolder.com/smartsheet-brand-marketing/smartsheet-icons was available to users without brandfolder. It seems odd that it would be private.
The icons page used to be public. I went to go grab some and they are no longer available.
@NeilKY @Melissa Bosi - When things are too good to be true, i make copies that very min (or download) just in case my instincts were right, and once again they were.
If you want me to send you a link to download a zip file to those icons from that library, and many others icons/symbols/clipart/images i use throughout my sheets/dashboards that you can access to download.
If your interested, send me a request for the link to the icons folder to my personal email since my government email will most likely block them 😒

Hi, I was creating new dashboard and thought it'll be so nice to have easy drag and drop Report widget capability from Workspace Panel since I always group set of reports under one folder (for ease of finding them what goes on the dashboard). I think this would be great time saver especially if you have similar name…
In the Resource Management Plan Settings in Control Center, there is no way to link the Client and Project Code fields even though they are not Custom fields and part of the first 3 fields you enter when creating a new project. I can't select them in the Custom Resource Management Information Fields because they are not…
Since the license model has changed, the option to Share should default to VIEW, not EDIT. The View option allows less-experienced users to share that way by default, and share as Edit only when needed. This allows for less cleanup during true-up. This also prevents users from adding provisional licenses unknowingly.
